What our clients say
An extremely useful course, full to the brim with very applicable techniques taught by a true Master Craftsman.
An excellent, comprehensive introduction to the key techniques required for metal working, based on extraordinary depth of experience and a focus on quality craftsmanship.
Surpassed all expectations and very, very valuable. Nice to know how to do it properly after all these years.
Thoroughly enjoy the course we did, and bought one of the videos which was a good reminder of the course too. Bruce and the team were really informative.
Arranged a course for our team, and Contour did a sterling job. Everyone welcome, and learnt so much. Worth booking and attending.
